Roy G. Guerrero - Who's idea was this?

We haven't played the Roy G. Guerrero DGC in a while, so I suggested that we play it this week.  Not one of my better suggestions, this is a vastly different course after the wide open spaces of Moody's last week!   Today's players were:  Steve, Keith, Bob, Dave and Heady.  Lif is on the injured reserve but he walked the first nine holes to get some exercise.  Glad to see Roscoe again.  We started on hole #2 to avoid climbing down the cliff of doom to get to the first hole.

Temperatures were cool when we started, in the upper 40's.  We had sunny skies and hardly any wind.  There were lots of other players on the course (and some deer and a coyote).   Course conditions were good, with the recent freeze killing off some of the rough.

I started out pretty well but quickly soured after that.  I had trouble controlling my drives and I missed around five putts.  I did so well the day before when I practiced at Circle C.  We all hit our share of trees.  Keith had a pretty good game with bonafide chances for par on #5 and #14.

No birdies were made today.  No discs lost and no discs found.

Moody's Disc Golf Ranch - Red Rock Texas - Disc Golf Heaven

We met up at 8:00 at Macho Taco's in Manchaca for delicious breakfast tacos.  Then we dropped off our cars at Steve's house and headed out to Moody's Disc Golf Ranch.  It's like you died and went to disc golf heaven.  The courses are laid out on several cow pastures, with rolling hills and a fair amount of trees to make it challenging.  Today's players were:  Steve, Lif, Keith and Heady.  Temperatures were in the upper 50's when we started and warmed up to near 70 when we finished.  Skies were cloudy when we started and were starting to clear by the time we finished.  Only a slight breeze was blowing.  Course conditions were good, some stickers and cow patties to watch out for.  We were the only players on the course.

This course is owned by Dave Moody, who is an old friend of Lif's from college.  Dave told us the basics about the course and got us started with a map.

The courses are laid out into four quadrants with 10 holes in each quadrant.  We played 30 of the holes in a little over four hours.  This is a course where you can let it fly.  There are quite a few trees on some holes but the rough is not bad at all.  We all had a pretty good game with exceptional putting all around.

Only nine birdies were made all day:  Keith(4), Steve(4) and Rob(1).  No discs found but I lost my White Roadrunner with a bad throw over the stock tank.
